The Kingmaker is a Psychopath
Barbie Lange was diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder when her mother discovered how she drove two of her classmates to kill themselves. She was brought to psychiatrists hoping they could fix her. Since then, she lived the rest of her life repressing her urges and forcing herself to be normal like anybody else, but she always knew she would eventually succumb to her nature one day. And then, at the top of her career as an actress, she simply died in her sleep when things seemed to be going well.
Who would have thought she'd be transmigrated into the barely breathing body of a beaten child? She then learned that the person she now occupies is a no-name character from a historical tragedy novel that her classmate she manipulated used to always talk about. Barbara belongs to Crescentiana Dukedom, a noble clan that encourages violence and killings to rise to the top. For the original, such life was hell for her. But for Barbara, it was an opportunity to loosen up and live her life to the fullest.
Not until the Queen negotiated with her to move chess pieces to enthrone a mere pawn to kingship. The novel narrated evil and corrupt aristocrats, conspiracies and betrayals, and most of all, a self-destructing main lead who ruined the kingdom to dust for revenge. Suddenly, killing indiscriminately on the battlefields didn't seem exciting for her anymore. The thrill of playing outside her territory without the protective shell of her family name excited her more.
Therefore, she stripped off the role of an uninvolved character into a cunning villainess the plot needed.
Setting foot in the capital, she was mesmerized by the beauty and charm of the ML, but his character was disappointing and infuriated her as time passed by. His self-pitying nature and pessimism bothered her, especially when the crown prince gave up on himself to ensure his lover was safe. A prince denied himself for a peasant servant, which was appalling and irrational. Not that she intended to play being a fairy godmother, she offered a deal with the crown prince, his fiance, before their wedding.
"Do whatever it takes and be the king in three years, and the first thing I do when I become the queen is to gift you a noble Rose as your concubine."
It was a silly game for Barbara but opened a new direction for Prince Victor. They then worked to build his credentials in the open while planning for a coup in the dark, all while Barbara fulfilled her psychopathic urges. Unexpectedly, this became so addicting to her?
She then witnessed the Prince in a trance with his lover, Rose. Suddenly, a prickling obsession tickled her throat. She altered the original plot in the most bizarre way possible, but why is this scene bothering her most irritatingly? Where did things start to go wrong?
Isn't she always detached from emotions? To affection? She sighed and drank a bottle of rice wine, and Victor entered their bedroom, drenched after a hot bath. And she wondered, "Why does this piece of meat look as tempting as dismembering bodies?"
